northern bear 2,883 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I was thinking about this the other day and saw a news article on it as well. We will have played hearts, hibs, tims, motherwell(?) and aberdeen all twice at home before the split. How will this work out as surely we will have 3 away games maximum after the split? This would be tims and hearts but not sure how this will work. No doubt the SFA will just give us 5 away games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can potentially play the same team three times at home or away depending on how the places are at the split.

If we've already played teams twice away / home then if need be we'll play a third time. Difficult to guess just now who makes top 6 with only 4 points separating 6 teams mid table.

graeme_4 34,615 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I know a lot hate it, but during the Europa league run I liked the Baku song. Think we beat Rapid and Ibrox was absolutely rocking. Personal favourite in recent years is ‘Follow, follow Glasgow Rangers’ - although bizarrely it doesn’t sound as good with 55 instead of 54. Love when the full stadium gets behind ‘Build my gallows’ too. BroxiSonBoris, Assegai and bluenose244 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brubear 2,924 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The fixtures are done based on a predetermined view of who the top 6 will be. The biggest issue is the promoted team or teams from the championship are deemed to be bottom 6 standard. This has been a shambles for years now as even our first year back we were deemed to end in bottom 6 for fixture setting. In the past 5 or 6 years you have had Hearts (twice), Hibs, Dundee Utd and us all coming up from the championship and going straight into the top 6.

soulboy 2,518 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Rules state you must have at least 2 home games after the split, so some teams will probably have to come to us a 3rd time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the points dropped have been fucking criminal I know - late goals conceded and silly needless points dropped. We should have had a really decent cushion after their start but I think we’ve blown it. Everything is going Celtics way and just can’t see them dropping much before the end of the season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
